Neil deGrasse Tyson. Everybody's favorite genius was also an excellent wrestler in his day, while working long hours through his Ph.D. program. He even attempted to base holds off of scientific phenomena...because of course he did.

Ken Kesey. The author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which you probably had to read in English class, wrestled at the University of Oregon and finished the 1956–1957 season with a win percentage of .885. No word on how many of his opponents were nurses at mental hospitals.

Kirk Douglas. One of the biggest stars ever (ask your parents), Douglas wrestled back in college. These days, he's mostly known for being Catherine Zeta-Jones's father-in-law.
